Where can you see dolphins in Hurghada?
Dolphin watching trips in Hurghada usually go to areas like Dolphin House, where wild dolphins are often seen. In Hurghada, there are two main spots known as Dolphin House. The first one, closer to the shore, is El Fanous. The second, located further north, is Shaab El Erg, where the chances of seeing dolphins are higher.
In addition, dolphins are often spotted around Abu Nugar and Abu Galawa reefs. All these reefs are located north of Hurghada and feature large shallow lagoons. Dolphins usually rest in these lagoons during the early morning hours, swimming slowly in circles close to each other within their groups.
In the afternoon, they are more active, hunting and playing, and can be seen in different areas. They are also frequently spotted on the southern side of Big Giftun Island or El Fanadir reef.
Dolphin sightings are not guaranteed, as they live in their natural habitat. The exact location we visit depends on weather conditions, especially wind and sea conditions.
